This is an old miniproject from 2023. Look at remake rxpipes which is cooler.
To build this project, you should install the notcurses library.
If you have notcurses installed, just type mkdir build && cd build && cmake ... You can also install ncpipes by typing sudo cmake --install .
Type ncpipes and the pipes will start running on your screen! To exit, press Ctrl-C.
But, there are a few options that you can pass to ncpipes. To see what options are available, type ncpipes -h. For example, you can change the frame rate, what colors use, the turning probability, etc.
